@vampirethriller
I see you have good taste. Grin

@PolkadotsAndMoonbeams I know! I love that film. Funnily enough it's one of the few film adaptations I prefer over the book. (Also has bittersweet memories around it, my now ex-h took me to see it when it first came out.)

Shizzlestix · 07/09/2020 20:51

Ranger, from the Stephanie Plum books. Blimey.

Special agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs in NCIS
Sealey Booth in bones

CatRamsey · 08/09/2020 02:00

My first ever crush when I was a kid was James from Team Rocket.

pollyglot · 08/09/2020 06:36

First crushes were Dr. Kildare and the dark-haired Cartwright son from "Bonanza". (I don't even remember his name now!) Well, it was the early 60s.
Then I met Captain Dobbin, and I fell in love with his sense of honour and his dogged devotion to Amelia. So he had big feet? So did I.

KeepSmiling89 · 08/09/2020 06:53

Right now I have a major crush on MacGyver in the new series (Lucas Til)

hanka · 08/09/2020 07:58

John Thornton from North and South (perhaps much to do with as portrayed by Richard Armitage)

Gibbs (NCIS) and Booth (Bones)
(yes I know, I’m joining the queue)

Eomer (LOTR) but only the movie version (the book one got hitched I think later on)

KeepSmiling89 · 08/09/2020 08:37

Oh also Daniel Jackson in Stargate SG1 (played by Michael Shanks)

LuvMyBoyz · 08/09/2020 09:28

Jack Reacher for me, too.

MulticolourMophead · 08/09/2020 10:36

@MrsVeryTired

Loki from Thor (and don't especially adore Tom H, he's a bit drippy whereas Loki absolutely is not)
I can understand this one.

I get crushes on characters sometimes, the latest one being Bucky Barnes. Film, not comics.

MrsVeryTired · 08/09/2020 15:27

Yes definitely Bucky too, but for me when he's the Winter Soldier, I clearly like dark and brooding Grin
